If the last seven minutes of “White Lightning” were a podcast, it would be this.

I stayed for Guy Lancaster's review of the reviews. I would say that Jackie and Dunlap are the creators of some of the most subversive comedy of our time, but I don't always get what other people mean when they call humor subversive and also it makes me sound pretentious, so I won't.

While there is already a glut of film review podcasts out there, this one delves into a very specific genre of films that haven't been overdone yet.

Listen to Jackie and Dunlap celebrate, review, and rip on classics without having to endure watching a sweaty Burt Reynolds yourself. It's hilarious but also looks at whether or not these movies hold up, and whether they're offensive today. LOVE IT!

The late Molly Ivins once noted that to be an educated Southerner was to be functionally bilingual--at home, you can relax into your linguistic twang, but out in the larger world, you speak proper English because you know just how your accent is perceived by others. However, "Redneck Matinee"--like its sister podcast "Red State Update--defies this longstanding Southern duality for something much more complex. The characters of Jackie Broyles and Dunlap are Southern good ol' boys to the core, and in this podcast they explicate the finer points of so-called "redneck" cinema (much of which stars Burt Reynolds). In other words, it has all the trappings of something that would just confirm your Yankee stereotype of the unreconstructed Confederate, but if you actually listen, you will swiftly realize that Jackie and Dunlap are employing these tropes, quite cleverly, to incorporate a nuanced and evolving modernity into the Southern collective mind rather than engage in either of the options typically open to self-conscious Southerners: that is, to discard the whole of Southern culture in the pursuit of some bland and rootless cosmopolitanism or to retreat into a reinforced regional chauvinism. More importantly, "Redneck Matinee" is also genuinely hilarious, with stretches that have left me utterly breathless from extended laughter. If you can imagine the bubbas hanging out at your local barbershop also being professors of film studies, if you have ever wanted to have a serious discussion about the tonal shifts in "Gator," then this podcast is for you.

Love these guys!!

The classics never die. A+
